I was thinking of any connection going to e.g. port 80 would be forced
to the locally used x.x.x.1 address on the tether interface. Like an
automatic proxy solution. This can then be refined to work only for a
subset of hosts, by looking up e.g. www.google.fr and setting up a
transparent proxy/captive portal only for those. Besides, using
http://1.2.3.4 would go through unnoticed, as it is already an IP
address :-). device.config is not a proper host name as it does not
exist and ConnMan should respond properly to DNS lookups...
That said, reading the contents of e.g. /run/connman/hosts and replying
with those to DNS requests sounds like a decent solution to me. But
still that would not capture http://216.34.181.45.
